Ingredients
- 4 oz sour cream
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 oz packet taco seasoning
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed

Method
- Whisk the sour cream, lime juice and zest, garlic, salt, chili powder, sugar, and olive oil together into a pourable dressing. Set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up. Drain excess fat, stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water, and simmer 2–3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Put the chopped lettuce in a large serving bowl and arrange the beef, red onion, tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, and jalapeño over the top.
- Drizzle with the dressing and toss at the table, or serve the dressing on the side. Finish with the cheddar and crushed tortilla chips so the chips stay crisp.
